JAKARTA - Persija Jakarta moved quickly to reshuffle the composition of the team to perform better in Liga 1 2023/2024.

Ahead of the closing of the season-half transfer market on Tuesday, November 28, 2023, the Kemayoran Tigers officially launched Alfriyanto Nico Saputro and Dandi Mualana.

Alfriyanto Nico Saputro will move to PSIM Yogyakarta on loan. The player who is familiarly called Ocin will be in PSIM uniform until March 27, 2024.

He will rejoin the Kemayoran Tigers when the 2023/2024 Liga 2 competition ends.

"I will look for as much knowledge as possible on the PSIM. Of course, when I borrow this, I will use it as well as possible so that I can develop into a better player. See you again next season," said Nico.

Things are different from Dandi Maulana. He officially separated from Persija on permanent status. The centre-back who was brought in in half of last season and still has the remaining six months of contract, was redeemed by RANS Nusantara FC.

There are so many experiences and stories that I got at Persija, off and on the field. I want to thank all the players, coaches, and officials who have accepted me at Persija. Hopefully we can continue to meet at another time," said Dandi.

Apart from the release of the players, Persija will make it permanent for the status of Ginanjar Wahyu Ramadhani and Achmad Maulana Syarif. Previously, the two players were borrowed by Arema FC for Liga 1 2023/2024.

The two players who have a loan period until May 31, 2024, will be effectively permanent starting June 1, 2024 or after the League 1 season is over.

The agreement became part of the clause from Gustavo Almeida's arrival to the capital team.

Previously, Persija Jakarta also released Witan Sulaeman to Bhayangkara FC on loan. In addition, the Kemayoran Tigers brought in Amar Fadzillah from Deltras Sidoarjo.
